Regarding our buildings, we have enlarged our
vinification cellars of red wines by adding eight additional
tanks with pushing down equipments and for the white wines, we
have also created a new cellar. These two cellars are around
8 metres
underground.
We have taken into account the ecological aspect and
have integrated the appropriate materials to the building of
these new cellars; moreover, we have also taken up again a
subterranean passage that our grand-father had created to drain
water from the plateau to feed our wells. So we have extended it
of about fifteen metres under the existing buildings in order to
connect it with the open air, thus allowing an in-draught which
will naturally air-condition our cellars as the temperature at
8 metres depth,
is constantly
11°C, in summer
as well as in winter. With this true Canadian well, we will be
able to operate the natural air conditioning of the underground
cellars we have created.
